Documentation

Alternate spool files.

You can use the mh-inc-spool-list variable to direct MH-E to retrieve mail from arbitrary spool files other than your system mailbox, file it in folders other than your "+inbox", and assign key bindings to incorporate this mail.

Suppose you are subscribed to the "mh-e-devel" mailing list and you use "procmail" to filter this mail into "~/mail/mh-e" with the following recipe in ".procmailrc":

    MAILDIR=$HOME/mail
    :0:
    * ^From mh-e-devel-admin@stop.mail-abuse.org
    mh-e

In order to incorporate "~/mail/mh-e" into "+mh-e" with an
"I m" (mh-inc-spool-mh-e) command, customize this option, and click
on the "INS" button. Enter a "Spool File" of "~/mail/mh-e", a
"Folder" of "mh-e", and a "Key Binding" of "m".

You can use "xbuffy" to automate the incorporation of this mail using the Emacs 22 command "emacsclient" as follows:

    box ~/mail/mh-e
        title mh-e
        origMode
        polltime 10
        headertime 0
        command emacsclient --eval '(mh-inc-spool-mh-e)'

In XEmacs, the command "gnuclient" is used in a similar fashion.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in MH-E version
7.3.
